We were pals when we were young. I've thought of her many times since then. I was back to DeWitt for a class reunion when I had intended to say "hi" to her. I did get a message to her via Jean Henderson Schmidt but, alas, was not able to see her. She was a very, very good person. She will be missed, I know, by that wonderful family and group of friends. RIP my friend Ruth.

John: I promise that someday when I join Ruth, that we will "take that road trip" she so wished to do. Blessings to your and yours in the loss of a wonderful, joyful lady. One more angel in heaven.

Very sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. She was a wonderful person, very kind and always had a smile on her face. We were just 2 weeks ago talking about the days we worked together at First Central State Bank. She will be greatly missed by many but know she is with God in Heaven.
